Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Step [F]inside my tent, [Em]said she,
"I'd like [G]to read you [Am]palm"
[F]Leave the dollar in [Em]the jar,
this won't [G]take very [A]long
[F]Leave the circus [Em]noise behind,
[G]close your eyes, relax your [Am]mind
I'll [F]tell you, if you should [Em]quit
now or if you should [G]go [A]on

[Verse 2]
[A]Then I said, "Now [Asus4]what do ya see?"
She [A]said, "Deedlee-dumb,
[Asus4]deedlee-dee"
Where'll [A]I go, [Asus4]what'll I be?
She [A]said, "Deedlee-dumb, [Asus4]deedlee-dee"
[G]She thr[F]ew some sawdust

[Verse 3]
[Em]in the
air and [G]her hands began to shake
[Am]She told[F] me, the town where I wa[Em]s born,
she [G]al most knew [A]the date
[Asus4]She lit a can[F]dle with her [Em]eyes
[G]and then she made the table rise
[Am]She took[F] the dollar from[Em] the jar and
[G]then she guessed my [A]weight

[Verse 4]
[A]Then I said, "Now [Asus4]what do ya see?"
She [A]said, "Deedlee-dumb,
[Asus4]deedlee-dee"
[A]You are so old, you are [Asus4]so wise
[A]Deedlee-dumb, dee[Asus4]dlee-dy

[Verse 5]
[A]Give me a sign, [Asus4]tell it to me
She [A]said, "Deedlee-dumb,
[Asus4]deedlee-dee"
[A]Then she spoke most [Asus4]quietly
[A]Deedlee-dumb, dee[Asus4]dlee-dee[G]
[F]When you we a child

[Verse 6]
[Em]at school they
[G]taught you quite [Am]a lot
[F]You were told when you [Em]should
speak [G]and when you [A]should not
[F]You were taught to [Em]read and write,
to [G]take your lessons home at night
[Am]A litt[F]le knowledge serve[Em]s you well
but the [G]golden rule does [A]not

[Verse 7]
[A]Then I said, "Now what do ya [Asus4]see?"
She [A]said, "Deedlee-dumb,
[Asus4]deedlee-dee"
Where'll [A]I go, [Asus4]what'll I be?
She [A]said, "Deedlee-dumb,
[Asus4]deedlee-dee"[G]
[F]Then when I came

[Verse 8]
[Em]home that night
[G]to lie in bed [Am]awake
[F]I thought of that old [Em]gypsy and the
words that [G]she had [A]said
[F]And now I see with [Em]due respect,
the more we [G]learn the worse [Am]we get
[F]So if you feel you've [Em]no regrets,
go [G]have your fortune [A]read

[Verse 9]
[A]Then I said, "Now [Asus4]what do ya see?"
She [A]said, [Asus4]"Deedlee-[A]dum[Asus4]b,[A]
[Asus4]deedlee-dee"
[A]You are so old, [Asus4]you are so wise
[A]Deedlee-dumb, dee[Asus4]dlee-dy

[Verse 10]
[A]Give me a sign, tell it to me
[Asus4]She said,
[A]"Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee"
Then she spoke most quietly
[Asus4]Deedlee-dumb, deedlee-dee

[Verse 11]
[A]Where'll I go, what'll I be
[Asus4]She said,[A] "Deedlee-dumb,
[Asus4]deedlee-dee"
[A]You are so old, you [Asus4]are so wise

[Verse 12]
[A]Deedlee-dumb, dee[Asus4]dlee-dy
[A]Give me a sign, [Asus4]tell it to me
She [A]said, "Deedlee-dumb,
deedlee-dee"
